- Administrative/biographical history:
- Goslar was first documented in connection with silver mining at the Rammelsberg in 1005. The miners' settlement was called "villa Goslaria". It experienced an upswing by the relocation of the imperial palace (Pfalz) from Werla to Goslar around the year 1000. On the left bank of the river Gose, a planned market settlement was founded alongside the miner's settlement on the right bank. As early as the 11th century, Goslar had city-like privileges. Frederick II confirmed all previously granted city privileges in 1219. Goslar was “Oberhof“ for several 'daughter' cities, which adopted the Goslar city law. A municipal council can be documented from 1252 onwards, although there are signs that the council is even older and dates back to the year 1219. From 1290 the city council was composed of 19 councilmen. Among them were also members of the merchants, bakers, shoemakers and butchers guild as well as members of the miners and forest workers. Nobles ceased to be council members from 1269. At first, an imperial “Vogt“ stood at the head of the city. However, with the imperial immediacy (Reichsunmittelbarkeit) of 1290, the council also succeeded in acquiring the Reichsvogtei and thereby gaining greater autonomy. Mayors are first attested for 1366/67. Goslar accepted the Reformation in 1521. City fires in 1728 and 1780, especially in the lower city, caused great damage. Goslar became part of Prussia in 1803, part of the napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 and part of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1815, which was annexed by Prussia in 1866. In the wars of the 18th century and during the Second World War Goslar remained without damage. Goslar has been a city in the newly formed German state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) since 1 November 1946.
